I'm actually tired of smoking and hope I can quit!  It costs too much!    Oh ....you mean smoking meats!  (I'm a lil slow sometimes!)   

I actually am a noob (newbie/new person) at smoking.  I smoked a turkey, 8-10# (guessing) pork loins, and brats (real ones-not Johnsonville, although I do like those too!). 

I have an apple tree that is getting old, and can't wait for it to die.  2 reasons- one it's less apples I have to pick up from the ground before mowing each time.  And I'll have a nice supply of Apple wood to smoke with (once it's dried & cut). 

I prefer to smoke with applewood on most things.  I've even made those cheap "fun dogs"/hot dogs taste like something good by using a "cheater" when grilling. 

What I do is take a tuna can, burn it out removing a thin layer of "stuff" from the inside of the can.  Then I wipe it out making sure it's all clean. 

Once I get the grill good and hot and the coals ready for food, I put some apple wood chips in it. (I buy them at Flee Farm).  Many people soak their woodhchips in water, but I don't.  I place the cheater can in the center of the grate.  I then put my food, whether it be hot dogs, brats, hamburgers, pork, or chicken around it.  I put the cover on and wait.  I use a Weber kettle, so I close the vents almost all the way-yet still allowing fresh air in so it doesn't kill the "fire". 

When the food is done......MMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm good eats babyyyyy!    I've had many people compliment me and ask me how I get that flavor in my grilled food.  So I thought I'd pass this along to you. 

You can use this same method on a gas grill as well.  I've done it many times, but switched to charcoal because I absolutely LOVE the flavor it gives!

Fantastic Forum Topic,

I am always looking for new ideas for the smoker or grill, especially the rubs. I have tried a few but haven't found "THE ONE" yet for my Beef Short Ribs

HOLDEMTWICE,
From what I have read so far, you better get yourself a book started for the rest of us to use.
